Stelle Architects Wins Award

author27east on Nov 29, 2010

Bridgehampton-based Stelle Architects won an “Archi Award” from the American Institute of Architects Long Island Chapter at its annual awards program last month.

The “Archi Awards Program” is a major event in the Long Island design community that raises awareness of the importance of quality architectural design to Long Island. Every year since 1965, the Long Island Chapter of the American Institute of Architects has celebrated outstanding architectural achievement through the annual program.

Stelle Architects won for its “Dune Road Residence” project, a low-key two-story house sited on a classic oceanfront site. The original house, slated for demolition, was built into the dune before current coastal construction standards requiring a much higher elevation.

The goal was to keep the existing scale and dynamics of the site and design a residence that reflected the footprint and spirit of the original home.

Materials for the new house included Alaskan cedar-shingle panels interspersed with glass sections. A simple glass and shingle pavilion overlooks a negative edge pool, while a path from the garage leads through a natural seaside landscape along the pool and up to the house. Solar control is achieved though the use of overhangs in the southern exposures. Extra thick walls allow for superior insulation and a geothermal system is employed for cooling.

Although there has been an unprecedented rise in short-term rentals and the aftershocks of the COVID-19 pandemic linger, it has been a bumper crop year for Wall Street, interest rates have remained steady and a new breed of demanding customer is emerging.
